While visiting friends in Waterloo this weekend, I stopped by Bricks and Blocks in St. Jacob's Mall and was suprised to find Pick A Brick in Canada and at a store that is not owned by LEGO. http://www.elecbrick.com/lego/bnb/ For comparison, a large Canadian PAB bag is $9.00 and holds almost as much as a small $7.60 US PAB cup (this one came from Solomon Pond.)

(...) Doug, Thank you very much for posting this. I live only about 35 minutes from Bricks and Blocks, so this is very good news. This must be very new for them.

(...) This look like the same bucket tree used at Discover Mills. The bags there go for I think 6.99 USD and seem to hold about the same, or maybe a trifle more, than a large PAB cup. (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) This is cool. Finally Pick-A-Brick has come to Canada.

(...) That's neat - glad to hear they pulled off a PAB selection there. Do they hold you to the policy of not stacking bricks? (URL) there's a lot of wasted space in the bag... Ed (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Heads up on "Pick a Brick". For those of you that don't know, all three Bricks and Blocks in Ontario (St. Jacobs, Windsor and Cookstown) are owned by the same owner.
